Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes.

Cook the shrimp for a total of 10+ minutes until crispy and just cooked through, flipping after halfway through the cooking time.

Notes

It might take 2 batches of cooking to make air fryer tempura shrimp depending on the size of your air fryer.

Air fryer models can vary slightly in cooking time, adjust the recipe as needed if yours cooks a little hot or slow.

Trader Joes frozen tempura shrimp was used for the recipe but any brand will work like Seapak or others.
